Vermont Business Magazine NuHarbor Security, based in Essex Junction, has launched its proprietary Knox Security Certification Program. Cybersecurity is an increasingly important part of business, and external influences such as compliance regulations and customer relations require proof of organizations’ cybersecurity. Along with other next-generation information security services, NuHarbor Security will offer industry-leading security certification to help clients demonstrate their security posture.
What’s different about Knox?
NuHarbor Security does things differently, but not for the sake of being different. Many control assessments allow organizations to check a box next to a compliance requirement. However, such assessments do not examine the depth and breadth of their security posture. Assessments often have multiple requirements that do not add value to an organization. NuHarbor operates with the client’s best interests in mind. Instead of perpetuating box-checking and inefficiency, NuHarbor’s Information Security Analysts tailored the Knox Security Certification criteria on cybersecurity AND organizational best practices.
How Knox Works
The Knox Security Certification contains three levels and works for small organizations with fledgling cybersecurity programs as well as larger organizations with more robust systems in place. For most, a lower tier will be a better fit. As a security program matures, clients may evolve their security footprint to achieve a higher level of certification. Just as the cybersecurity landscape is ever-changing, so is an environment. The value and viability the Knox Security Certification is its annual reassessments. Knox is not intended to be a one-and-done assessment. As new threats emerge, and your environment changes, the certification process accounts for that change.
